Snow and Trees (Santa Fe Nat'l Forest)
This photograph was taken on a mid-day hike in the mountains near Santa Fe on a cold winter day. The tracks in the snow remind me of the sound of the crunching snow beneath my boots and of how cold my exposed nose gets at such high mountain elevations. A polarizing filter and “pushed” film were used to alter the scene; no other digital or studio tricks were used to turn the bright-day scene into this dark image. Medium: Film
